Secrets by Starlight Knight
It was a nice sunny day at the Penguin Park. Sakura and Tomoyo were
having a
small picnic there, seeing that it was a nice day. "Come on come on,
why all
this secrecy?" Sakura asked. "Patience Sakura, you'll know in due
time." Tomoyo
said. She giggled a little saying this. "I wanna know", Sakura said,
"all this
is working on my nerves." "Well, your not gonna until I am ready..."
Tomoyo
said. Sakura just whined again, whatever it was she needed to know.
Tomoyo,
however, was nervous. She didn't know how to break it to her. Her
one deepest
darkest secret was unable to be said in words. She surprised herself
by even
asking her Angel in Disguise here for a picnic to tell her of her
secret. She
began to shift uncomfortably, not knowing how to word what she was
going to say
to Sakura. "Are you ready yet?" Sakura asked impatiently. Tomoyo
steeled her
nerves. "What I wanted to say was that I...I..." was all she could
say. "Yeah,
you what?" Sakura asked. "I...I...I..." Tomoyo stammered out again.
At this
point she just gave up trying to say it.
Sakura began to grow even more impatient. "Awww, c'mon on Tomoyo",
she said
,"Tell me... tell me... tell me!!" Tomoyo figeted with her fingers,
then she got
an idea. She'll just let her actions speak louder than her words.
She placed a
small, soft, lingering kiss on Sakura's lips. Sakura had been, more
or less,
surprised and shocked when this happened. Tomoyo leaned back to her
previous
position, pleasantly pleased with her bravery and the effect of the
kiss on
Sakura who was, in effect, in her own world. Although that world had
been shaken
quite strongly. Tomoyo mused herself with how things were going so
far, but now
the task of how to break her love out of the reverie she was in,
though she
wasn't complaining about the small smile that did however grace
Sakura's cute
little lips. "Sakura?" Tomoyo said. "Hoe?" Sakura said snapping out
of her dream
state. "Daijobu desu?" Tomoyo asked. "H-hai..." Sakura stammered.
Now that she
had her senses back she was quite confused. "Ne, Tomoyo-chan, what
just
happened?" She asked. "Well, I showed you what I had to say to you
instead of
actually saying it." Tomoyo replied. Sakura started to blush. "I had
no idea you
felt that strongly for me..." she said just above a whisper. "It is
kinda hard
to believe isn't it?" Tomoyo asked. Sakura didn't answer. She was
still somewhat
in her own world. Her mind would not let her forget this kiss, not
that she
wanted to anyway. "Uh...Tomoyo chan, I think I'll go home it's
getting pretty
late." Sakura said still staring off into space.
Tomoyo was about to protest but decided against it, there was
something
bothering her. And whatever it was it would,she would know soon
enough. Of that
she was certain. "Okay Sakura", she said, "call me later..." Sakura
just nodded
as she got up and left. 'I hope I didn't do anything wrong' Tomoyo
thought. When
Sakura got home, she wasn't her usual self. she didn't bother to say
hi or I'm
home. She didn't even notice it when Touya called her a kaijuu.
Everyone in the
house just looked on as she truged up the stairs with that spaced
out look on
her face. They looked upstairs, then to each other, then upstairs
again. "What's
up with her?" Touya asked. Sakura's father and Yukito shrugged their
shoulders.
"You got me..." they both answered. Sakura sat on her bed in a
spaced out state,
she had not fully known what happened at the park. Her mind kept
returning to
only one thing. The kiss, simply put, had taken over her mind. She
liked the
feeling her best frtend gave her. Yet it was wrong, she scolded
herself for
this. She was only supposed to like boys, or so she thought. All her
mixed mind
told her now was to go and kiss her friend again and again. And deep
down she
wanted to, that's what scared her the most. There was a slight
knocking at
Sakura's door as Touya was behind it. "Hey kaijuu", he started, "if
you're not
busy then there's a phone call from Tomoyo for you. Sakura's mood
visibly
brightened as she heard her best friend's name being called.
She jumped up from her bed and happily skipped out of her door.
"Iie, baka, I'm
never to busy to talk to Tomoyo-chan." She said walking down the
hall. "And
while I think about it...I'm not a kaijuu!" she added yelling. 'I
guess she's
back to normal' Touya thought. He shrugged and walked to his room
where Yukito
was was waiting. Sakura got to the phone that was in the hall and
picked it up.
"Moshi moshi?" she answered. "Hi Sakura, this is Tomoyo I was just
calling to
see if you were alright." Tomoyo said. "I'm fine", Sakura stated
cheerfully, "I
just had to think on a few things, or rather should I say one
thing." "And what
was that?" Tomoyo asked. "The kiss you gave me..." Sakura said in a
small
whisper. "Oh that...was just..." Tomoyo tried to explain. "Well,
whatever it
was, I need to talk to you. Meet me in the park in a few, okay?"
Sakura asked.
"Okay..." Tomoyo said. She hung up the phone,got her shoes on, and
told her
mother she was heading out to meet Sakura at the park again. "Don't
stay out to
late..." Sonomi said with a wink. Tomoyo just blushed and nodded.
She made her
way quickly to the park, where the meeting was to take place. She
walked past
the penguin slide to a swingset that Sakura was sitting on. Sakura
looked up as
she heard footsteps approach her. Tomoyo stood there with her
trademark smile,
though there was a bit of uncertainty in her eyes. Sakura promptly
got up and
walked the small distance to Tomoyo.
They stood there looking at eachother for what seemed like an
eternity, until
Sakura brake the silence. "Kombanwa Tomoyo-chan" she said. Tomoyo
smiled and
bowed politely. "About the kiss, what was it for?" Sakura asked
getting straight
to the point. Tomoyo was shocked she couldn't speak at first, but
she found her
resolve and used it as her leverage. "To tell the truth, Sakura,
it's because
I...I...I..love you" she managed to say. "Hoe?!" Now it was Sakura's
turn to be
surpried. "Yes...you heard right", Tomoyo said, "I love you and I
have loved
ever since when we first met." Sakura just stood there trying her
best to take
this in. Even though it sounded unbelieveable, it would explain why
she was so
happy around her, the fact that she taped her so much, and a list of
other
things the eccentric girl did around her. Then she realized
something, didn't
she like Tomoyo being happy? Wasn't she happy when Tomoyo was happy?
Wasn't she
the one who befriended her to keep in this state of happiness? So
many questions
swam around in her head. Unfamiliar and newly found emotions mixed
with these
questions. But, as she asked the questions over and over to herself,
she could
always answer it with a definate yes. Suddenly, a new question
popped up. Did
she love Tomoyo? The answer, which was yes, was not surprising to
her. It was
there all along, she just had to search her heart for it. Tomoyo
suddenly
stopped in her speech and looked at the spaced out Sakura. "Sakura?"
she asked
snapping her out of her reverie. "Hai?" Sakura asked back giving her
the
brightest smile Tomoyo had ever seen. "Are you okay?" Tomoyo asked
with a bit of
uncertainty in her voice.
Sakura just stepped foward, hugged her, and let out a contented
sigh of relief.
"Hai, I'm perfectly fine now." she stated just above a whisper.
Tomoyo hugged
her back. Sakura gave another sigh and turned her head slightly to
see Tomoyo
looking down at her. She smiled again just before moving in and
copturing
Tomoyo's lips with her own. Tomoyo started to Kiss her back without
hesitation.
They kissed for what seemed like an eternity, until they both broke
for air.
"Aishiteru, Kinomoto Sakura..." Tomoyo said. "Aishiteru, Daidouli
Tomoyo..."
Sakura answered back. "When do you think we should tell everybody?"
Tomoyo
asked. Sakura thought on it. "If they dont already know, I would say
tomorrow...sound good?" she asked. Tomoyo nodded happily and turned
around
headed for her house. "Until tomorrow then, my love." She said
walking away.
"Until then..." Sakura said as she turned and left toward her house.
Each left
with 'unique' images of each other as they walked home. Little did
they know of
the surprise that waited for them tommorrow...
